Apple Corps lose lawsuit against Apple Computer

bwintx said:
Outstanding, but Apple Corpse (and that spelling is intentional) obviously will drag this out in the appeals process unless Apple Computer comes up with $$$ to make the former go away. Which is all Apple Corpse probably ever wanted anyway.

Agree completely!

...I just really hope that Apple doesn't start being less aggressive now with its focus on music products - for example, limiting features in music creating programs etc, worrying about a possible infringement- that would suck!

Take it easy, I am a lawyer too (but NOT American)...the biggest problem is in the U.S. with its frivolous lawsuit system that allows everyone to sue for nothing, without expecting any procedural punishment or reversal of legal fees...it's also a problem of mentality, since people in the U.S. are unable nowadays to admit their own mistakes or stupidity (just look at their government and the institutionalized lies)...their legal system is so market-driven that they just prefer to sue, it's much easier.

I remember seeing the following law firm outdoor when driving in Florida: "Fell off the stairs? Call us!"; such ad would be simply forbidden in Brazil for lack of ethics...

Brazil, Europe and most legal systems have little to do with that crap.

For the unbelievers out there, please check out www.stellaawards.com for a great showroom of oportunists in the U.S.

...couldn't agree with you more! The legal system in the US is very bad with regards to lawsuits, but hopefully it will be changing for the better

Um, since the target is against Apple and creating music, wouldn't the logical lawsuit be against Garageband?

No, that wouldn't be logical. If they find that Apple is creating music, whether with Garageband, or with some other software, or by going to a recording studio, they might have a point.

But Apple is perfectly free to create software that allows Apple's customers to create music.
 
1) Good news.
2) This means Beatles on line somewhere.
3) Corps -> Core

I'm surprised that no one made the joke about the Apple Corps (Pronounced Core) already being eaten, where as Apple Computer just has a bite taken out. I don't know exactly how it would go, but it would be funny.

TEG
 
Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Someone in the world ISN'T insane! After seeing FAR too many people and companies get away with ridiculous lawsuits, it's finally good to see Apple Computer win against Apple Corps, which is known only for The Beatles music. Did Apple Corps do anything other than that?

I got a big kick that Apple Corps will have to spend £2 million to pay for the lawsuit. :) Gee, that was worth it all, wasn't it!

Now, hopefully Apple Computer can continue on its merry way without having to worry about idiotic changes to their logos and what not. And as far as The Beatles songs being on iTMS, I really couldn't care. I've never much liked any of their music (with the exception of Come Together), but that's about it.
 
what no one knows is that the deciding judge has a quad power mac G5 with 2 30" monitors, and has been an avid mac fan since apple's ever-so- brilliant "1984" spin off commercial two decades ago. in fact, he probably couldn't even hear apple corp's lawyers speaking in the courtroom because the volume on his ipod was too loud!! hahahahaha!!! and yes, he was listening to the beatles. "cry baby cry", to be exact
